Crontab for shutdown VM

[leila]

I want to shutdown a VM with crontab.

crontab -e

I wrote this:

45 10 * * * /usr/sbin/qm shutdown 100

But it doesn't work.
Is this correct?

I got help from this page:

Does /usr/sbin/qm shutdown 100 shutdown VM 100 when you run it from the shell (without crontab)? If not, what messages do you see?

Check the logfile /var/log/syslog for related errors.

My problem was solved this way:
I wrote the command in a script and executed this command in crontab.

45 10 * * * /root/crontest


crontest : name of script
